"This is the quietest this cafeteria will be," Alvarez said. Alvarez said she's excited for the students to see the new building and can't wait to see the first face that walks into the building. She said she's eager for them to see the playground, which has a wide open field, three different playground sets and a basketball court. Board Chair Leanetta McNealy said she was tempted to check the bottom of her shoes as she walked into the school to make sure she wasn't tracking dirt inside. "This school is so beautiful and new and I didn't want to be the first one to mess it up. Of course in a few days hundreds of little feet will be tracking in dirt and water, and gum, and all sorts of messes, but that's okay because this school is meant to be lived in," McNealy said.
